Following a rash of brutal deliveryman assaults in the Tri-state area this month, Delaware State Police have released a list of safety tips for delivery people.

Two teens had a pizza delivered to an abandoned house in Camden County, New Jersey Jan. 8, then allegedly attacked the deliveryman, 18, with a baseball bat. They made away with between $80 and $150, according to the Associated Press.

A Toms River, New Jersey pizza deliveryman, 19, responded to an address with no lights on around 9 p.m. Jan. 26 and, as he walked up the fronts steps, was approached by two men, about 19 years of age, with their faces covered by scarves, according to a report from Toms River Family & Community Magazine. They stated they had a gun and attempted to take money, but the deliveryman pushed them away and fled on foot.

The next day, a man, 40, who was delivering Chinese food in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, was approached by a man who directed him further down the street, then ambushed (literally) by two more men who jumped from behind a patch of shrubbery, police said. All three men punched the victim in the face and head, then rifled through his pocket. They made away with his wallet containing cash and personal property, then fled on foot.

In Atlantic City, two pizza deliverymen were robbed within 10 minutes of one another yesterday, according to reports. A Papa John's deliveryman, 20, was approached by a man around 7 p.m. who grabbed the food from his hands. Three more men reportedly jumped in, punching and kicking him, then stealing his money, cell phone and keys. The made away with $100 to $150 in stolen items.

Four minutes later, another Papa John's deliveryman, 53, was approached by a man who said he had money to pay for the food.
